I'm sad to say that I have to back out on this challenge Between being away, starting a class to acquire another credential for work, my sister starting an outpatient program for severe postpartum, and covering care of my niece I've run out of time. Hoping I can join in the next challenge!!

Sounds like you have a lot on your plate lately. Hope all falls into places and life will settle for you. Stay strong. Sending some pixiedust to help you going.

Going to send my part in a few moments.
I thought I would do something nautical, but had to work the whole week this week (40+ hours), so I ran short as well. And while working on some final bits and pieces for the bloghop today, I realised these colors would go with a lot of the World Showcase countries. So I decided that would be my theme, even though it's all just basic...
I will join the bloghop!

I just sent out the DC31 collab link and blog hop lineup to all of the participants. Don't forget to come back Friday to post your preview and layouts in the reveal thread and to see the new DC challenge information!
